# How Can I Manage Preventive Maintenance Schedules for Customer Equipment?

You manage schedules by recording the service interval for each piece of equipment, such as every six months or every 1,000 hours, and generating a visit automatically when the next service is due, with the checklist for that equipment type. On **Jestor**, this runs through an equipment **table**, recurring automation, and checklists.

Preventive maintenance prevents breakdowns, but only if it happens when planned. Doing it by memory leads to customers who receive service too late, too early, or never.

## What manual preventive schedules cost

- Services missed and equipment failing between visits
- Visits done too early, wasting time and parts
- Customers surprised by unplanned breakdowns
- Planners rebuilding schedules by hand each month
- No record that maintenance was done as promised

## How preventive scheduling works

- Each unit has a **service interval** and a last service date
- The system calculates the next due date automatically
- A visit and checklist are created before the date
- Completed visits update the unit and start the next cycle

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Maintenance happens on time without manual tracking
- Technicians follow standard checklists
- Customers see a reliable, professional service
- This scales from a few units to thousands
